Mariah Carey and James Packer: What Happened (in Greece)?!?
Multiple outlets can now confirm what The Hollywood Gossip reported a few hours ago:
It is all over for Mariah Carey and James Packer.
According to various reports, the billionaire businessman ended his engagement to the flighty and iconic singer a couple of weeks ago.
But WHY?!? The answer does not appear to be obvious.
Woman’s Day quoted a source who blamed Packer’s “reservations about Mariah’s new reality TV show,” which does seem to jibe with the fact that Packer is a private individual.
He made his fortune in the casino business and has no interest in the spotlight.
How on Earth did he therefore fall for an artist who is practically as well known for being a spoiled, attention-obsessed diva as she is for her incredible voice?
Who can say? The heart wants what it wants.
Or at least it wanted what it wanted.
But TMZ reports something very different.
According to that typically-reliable celebrity gossip site, Carey and Packer haven’t seen each other or had any contact at all in over a month.
Their major issue stems from something that happened on boar a yacht while they vacationed in Greece, something that entails Packer having done “something really bad” involving Carey’s assistant.
How is THAT for vague intrigue?!?
The obvious answer here for that “bad” thing would be cheating, but then you would assume TMZ would come out and report that, right?
Maybe there was a verbal or even physical confrontation of some kind?
The insiders would not elaborate, but TMZ says some kind incident did, in fact, take place and it prompted Mariah to bail on the vacation and go back to Los Angeles.
Interesting, no?
According to People Magazine, though, the breakup was related to a difference in personalities and lifestyles.
“James is all about business and making money,” a source told that publication,, adding that Packer maybe wealthy… but he’s also somewhat reserved.
“Some of Mariah’s eccentric ways, especially her spending habits, caused drama. James is the most generous person ever, but he definitely doesn’t agree with senseless spending,” this insider said.
Another source confirms the rumor that Mariah’s reality show (previewed above) turned Packer off. Big time.
“James is very private, and doesn’t need the media to be successful,” this person says. “He doesn’t want to be a part of Mariah’s reality show.”
We do now wonder how the breakup will impact the reality show, considering some of it has been filmed already and some of it centered on Carey making wedding plans.
Oops!
“They are not together right now. They split a couple of weeks ago,” yet another source confirms to People, making a point to add:
“It’s possible they will get back together. They are still talking, but James needed a break.”
Mariah Carey, James Packer -- Something Really Bad Happened in Greece
Mariah Carey and James Packer haven’t seen each other or spoken for more than a month, after something happened during their vacation on a yacht in Greece … TMZ has learned. Sources connected with Mariah claim James did “something really bad”…
Mariah Carey: Dumped by James Packer?!?
According to a new report, Mariah Carey is singing a very sad tune at the moment.
And, according to this same report, no one will be singing “Here Comes the Bride” on Carey’s wedding day.
Because there won’t be a wedding day. Because Carey has been sent packing by James Packer.
A source tells The New York Post that the billionaire Australian, grew sick and tired of putting up with Carey’s “extravagant spending” and newfound love for reality television.
Which, if true, is both understandable and confusing.
Packer was sick of Carey spending a lot of money?!?
Had Packer ever met Carey prior to asking her to marry him?!?
This isn’t exactly a woman known to live modestly. She can’t even pose for a naked selfie with being draped in diamonds.
Packer, who earned most of his fortune as a casino mogul, officially called it quits with Carey this week after being engaged to the singer for under a year, according to Woman’s Day.
“It’s all over,” a family friend told the magazine, adding:
“James had huge reservations about Mariah’s new reality TV show and the fact that she was willing to expose their lives to the world.”
It’s true: in December, Mariah’s World will debut on E!.
Based on the trailer at the outset of this article and the one below, it looks exactly like you would expect a Mariah Carey reality show to look like.
Carey jokes at one point about her reputation for being high maintenance, only to later (not really) joke about wanting puppies in her dressing room.
“I don’t consider it reality,” Carey told reporters of the series, claiming the program will be closer to a “documentary.”
However she wants to refer to it, the show may now have to undergo some serious changes because it was set to partially chronicle her wedding planning.
But the wedding has been so adamantly called off that Page Six claims Packer doesn’t even care if Carey keep shed $ 10 million engagement ring. He just wants out.
“When she refused to come to Australia for [Packer’s sister’s] birthday party it created a lot of tension in the family,” a friend said of the final straw for Packer.
This insider says that Carey never bonded with Packer’s family members or anyone close to the wealthy businessman:
“His mom hated to even hear her name mentioned, and James’ tight circle of friends never really thought they would marry.”
This news probably doesn’t come as a shock to those who have taken note that neither Carey nor Packer talked much about their actual wedding.
It was almost as if both sides knew that day would never come.
But there’s an interesting note to end on: The Post writes that Carey has been “spending time” since this split with ex-husband Nick Cannon.
Might a reconciliation be in the cards?!?
Now that would make for a quality reality show storyline.

Mariah Carey: When Will She Marry Marry James Packer?
Mariah Carey is getting married to James Packer… maybe. If she can find the time.
The 46-year-old singing sensation had a chat with Sharon Osbourne for Entertainment Tonight this week, addressing plans about her future.
Will it include a wedding?
Maybe, but Carey said she has “a lot on my plate” these days.
Her professional plate, she means. Not her personal plate… or else we’d be close to hearing wedding bells.
Surely, if she was serious about the whole thing she would pick a date and work her schedule around it.
Even if that meant pushing it a bit further down the line.
It kind of raises questions about whether everything is going well between the singer and her VERY rich fiance.
If you plan on getting married, you get married. You don’t get all sketchy about it.
Could there be trouble in paradise?
Might it be down to Nick Cannon refusing to sign divorce papers?
Yes, word came out earlier this week that Cannon was flat out refusing to sign the divorce papers.
This could very well be preventing any potential union between Carey and James Packer.
It is pretty odd that he’s so against signing the papers because it’s preventing both parties from moving on from the failed relationship. These two seemed to get along very well for exes.
There’s also the possibility that this is all a ruse to get people to tune into her eight-part E! reality series, Mariah’s World.
Shows on E! rely heavily on constructed drama. It’s the home of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, after all.
It hasn’t made us any more excited for the show and viewers will probably be furious if the show has Cannon refusing to sign the divorce papers all season long.
Carey thinks she’s GLAAD’s most famous celebrity, so expect similar comments about her being the most famous person in reality TV.
What do you think of all the drama? Hit the comments!

George Harvey Dies; Howard Stern Show Wack Packer Was 56
George Harvey, a regular guest on The Howard Stern Show for six years who was better known to listeners as Crackhead Bob, was found dead inside his Texas home on Sunday.
He was 56.
A member of the radio hosts’s “Wack Packers,” Harvey was a regular on the program from 1995 to 2001. He also made a surprise appearance back in October of 2005.
Stern himself made the sad announcement on Monday.
Harvey got his nickname due to a speech impediment that was the result of a long-time crack-smoking habit; it left him partially paralyzed.
Harvey earned his radio gig after Stern’s team noticed him at various appearances by the host in the 1990s.
According to the farewell message on Stern’s website, Bob was always first to arrive at every signing.
“He was a huge champion of our show,” the radio host said on his program yesterday.
According to TMZ, the cause of death is unclear at this time.
Harvey’s death, meanwhile, comes after the passing of fellow Wack Pack members Eric the Actor, Riley Martin and Johnny Fratto, all of whim died within the last year and a half.
We send our condolences to Harvey’s family, friends and loved ones.

Mariah Carey: Engaged to James Packer!
It’s official; James Packer was born to be Mariah Carey’s baby.
The singer and the Australian businessman are engaged! To be married!
According to People Magazine, Packer popped the all-important question in New York City on Thursday night.
And, according to E! News, Packer did so with a 35-carat diamond engagement ring.
Yes, 35 carats!!!!
Packer (who is crazy, mega rich and who has been romantically linked in the past to Miranda Kerr) and Carey met a few years ago, but didn’t start dating until the summer of 2015.
They made their red carpet debut in September and took a vacation in Aspen last month along with the artist’s four-year old twins, Monroe and Moroccan.
Carey shares custody of those twins with ex-husband Nick Cannon, to whom she was married for six years.
Of Packer and Carey, an insider tells E! News the following:
“They fell head over heels in love with one another. It’s crazy how perfect they are together, they both know it and couldn’t be happier.”
This will be the third marriage for both, as Carey was also the wife of music executive Tommy Mottola.
Packer, meanwhile, has three kids (Indigo Packer, 7, Jackson Packer, 5 and Emmanuelle Packer, 3) with ex-wife Erica Baxter.
We send our best wishes to the couple and hope Carey was willing to change her sex schedule in order to celebrate the news.
